P7 Week beginning 29.08.22

We have had a great couple of weeks settling back into school life.

This term has started off with lots of opportunities to work co-operatively and build a positive classroom ethos.  Yesterday there was some excellent team work and creativity on display as each group was challenged to create a team name, motto, logo and mascot.  Everyone had a role to play from being the time keeper to managing the materials being used to checking the quality of work. There were some super ideas and everyone worked really well to create posters and 3D mascots out of plasticine. The themes chosen by the groups were: seahorses, red pandas, cats and bears.

In numeracy we have been revising place value of numbers up into the millions! We have also reminded ourselves of some of the multiplication facts and how to order decimal fractions.

Our novel study for this term is ‘Kensuke’s Kingdom’ by Michael Morpurgo.  This week we read the first chapter and completed a visualiser about the main character Michael; so far we think he is loyal, brave, adventurous and energetic based on evidence in the text.

We have lots to look forward to this year in P7! This term we will be learning about plants and living things, Mrs Ferguson will be working with us for some STEM and food technology sessions and we will begin to think about the John Muir Award.

Have a lovely weekend when it arrives!

Primary 2

Good morning, we have had a very busy week back at school and the children have all settled well into Primary 2 enjoying playing and learning with their friends again. At the moment our key focus is settling in and building friendships, co-operating with one another and sharing. We have this week looked at all aspects of safety beginning to renew our understanding of SHANARRI each letter is an acronym and the first letter being s for safety so look out for your children talking about the meaning of the other letters. This is a health and wellbeing programme of work covering a broad aspect of our lives. We have also began our topic for this term which I’m sure the children will love which is Pirates. This should be lots of fun. It has been a very busy and quick week. The children are working hard to support each others learning and form good relationships.

Here are some photos from this week.

Have a lovely weekend.

P4P week beginning 22.8.22

Good morning!

It’s our first full week back and we have been working hard on getting back into our routine in Primary 4. We have completed our first piece of writing all about our summer and used our art skills to design sunglasses to go with it. We created our class charter, with a magic theme, based upon the UNCRC Rights of the Child with all pupils signed by creating their own potion bottles. Our detective skills were used with Mrs Ferguson to complete the missing moji challenge. We had to use the clues to discover the missing moji.

Thank you for all your hard work this week Primary 4 and have a lovely weekend!

P4S Weekly Blog 26.8.22

Welcome to P4S.

This week we have been busy creating a Time Capsule which we will be able to open again in June 2023.  Inside, we have a letter in which we wrote about our goals for P4S and a length of string which is the same length as our height (at the moment).  We were all very careful when measuring our heights and also the piece of string too.  It will be so exciting in June to see if we have achieved our goals and to see how much we have grown over the year.

Enjoy your weekend,

Miss Steedman

P5 Weekly Blog 26th August 2022

Good morning, it’s Friday!!

It’s been our first full week back and we have been really busy getting back into our routine at school. In P5 we have been creating our class charter based on the UN Rights of The Child and have agreed on rules to keep us safe, happy and achieving in class.

We have also created a display to brighten up our classroom and make everyone feel welcome on the first week back. Have a look at our class snapshot and All About Me bunting.

         

 

We have been investigating the features of non-fiction books and worked in teams to find and label them in real life examples.

       

Thank you for all your hard work this week! I hope you have a lovely weekend.

P6: week beginning 22nd August 2022

Welcome back everyone!  I hope you all had a fantastic summer and are looking forward to an exciting new school year.

P6 have been busy settling in and getting used to new routines. We have been doing lots of ‘getting to know you’ activities such as All About Me posters, self-portraits, and friendship bingo!

In numeracy, we have been revisiting times tables, place value and partitioning. We’ve been enjoying playing maths games such as Hit the Button to sharpen up our number bonds.

In literacy, we have been revising common words for our spelling, planning an adventure story and practising our handwriting skills.

On Tuesday, we were excited to work with Miss Gibson on a STEM competition. We had to design a paper aeroplane and test how well it flew. We hope we win!

Wee reminder – please bring  an empty shoebox for Tuesday, thank you.

Have a great weekend!
